Description

1955 Topps Sandy Koufax #123 PSA NM-MT+ 8.5. The mighty
Brooklyn Dodgers pantheon -- while unknowingly getting ready to
finally claim a long-awaited World Championship -- prepared to add
a new member in 1955. A youthful but deceptively innocent-looking
pitcher, Sandy Koufax -- seen here in his rookie-card appearance --
stood ready to join such heroes as Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider,
Roy Campanella and Gil Hodges, and the team's fortunes would change
forever. So, too, did the collecting hobby, as the debut-year
collectible of Koufax has never relinquished its status as one of
the most visually captivating gum cards ever made. The odds against
Koufax someday becoming the sport's first three-time Cy Young Award
winner, or that he would figure in three victorious World Series
match-ups were about as slim as the chances of, say, coming across
a Sandy Koufax rookie that is close to Mint condition. Graded
PSA NM-MT+ 8.5.
